I was just looking at using the LocalLB.VirtualServer.get_statistics() method, but it doesn't seem to return anything in the statistics object (where I'd expect a type of VirtualServerStatisticEntry):

https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/LocalLB__VirtualServer__VirtualServerStatisticEntry.html

 

 

I used virtual_server = 'x.x.x.x', where the stats were returned for that host when calling LocalLB.VirtualServer.get_all_statistics()

 

 

Does this work in python 2.6 + suds + pycontrol2? Or am i missing something?

 

 

Thanks to everyone who is supporting iControl and pycontrol2... it's full of awesomeness.
